I am new to the forum but not to Mustangs. I am restoring a 65' I6 with my son. (I think a 289 is just too much for a "first car" )

I have been looking at the G.W. Liskey Diagram. In the diagram it has two dimensions for the width of the car. Towards the front of the car it has 54 3/4' and towards the rear of the car it has 55 1/2'. Is this correct?

Attached is the Liskey Diagram with the dimensions in questions marked.

Thanks,

While i can't comment on those body lines. i can say the FSM shows the same dim's for the under body stuff like the frame rails. so i would postulate the dims are correct.

 

Thanks...I thought perhaps I was missing something. So the back of the passenger compartment is actually 3/4 of an inch wider than the front. Who would have guessed.

Thanks again for your reply.

 

New here - I would like to know if the rocker panels are my given horizontal - how does the frame rails - from the fire wall back line up ? Are they level with - slanted front to rear - height from datum point (floor) is rockers are at 10 inch ?
I never did this before - so please feel free to recommend - sites - pics - books or just advise.

I am restoring a 1965 Mustang C-code 289 Coupe - the floor pan will be cut out on both sides of the center hump in the front. Patches also installed over rear frame torque box areas. I am also installing front torque boxes (65 didn't have them) - motor will be resealed after checking bearings and new oil pump (Believe the motor is a new 302) - the C-4 tranny was "rebuilt" by a local shop !

Thanks Bullitt4248 (Rick)
I also have a 2001 Mustang Bullitt #4248

 

I am restoring the 1965 fastback, can anyone confirm the dimensions from the front to back tires.
